Ich möchte gerne mit #homeassistant und meinem #raspberrypi zusammen mit meinen Netzwerklautsprecher (Denon Home 150) einen Smartspeaker bauen, quasi Alexa in gut.

Ich habe homeassistant bereits aufgesetzt und Music Assist sowie whisper und piper installiert. Als nächstes würde ich einen Atom Echo als Netzwerkmiko nutzen.

Hat da jemand Erfahrung?

Tech enthusiasts are ditching the Raspberry Pi. A new report shows that used $100 HP mini PCs are easily outperforming Pi 4 boards for home lab servers. With a fully equipped Pi 5 hitting $246.95 in 2026, x86 hardware is taking over. #RaspberryPi #HomeLab #TechNews #MiniPC

I wanted to add a scroll wheel and after a few ideas, I settled on this USB rotary encoder adapter by Adafruit. Make a small case for it and a large wheel and now I can scroll through my radio list quickly! It emulates a keyboard so it sends arrow up and down presses so it should work with lots of things. Push in on the wheel sends a return. Flying USB cable because it’s an accessory 😄

I created a game pad "snap-in" that replaces the keyboard, thanks to a donor 8bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth game pad. Works great with retroarch!

Added a visor to the top of the LCD and now it's giving Weyland-Yutani vibes 👾

All of my main website subdomain projects have been moved over to my #RaspberryPi Zero (named Hermes). If things continue to work well, I plan to port my main blog over as well!

Ref: https://hermes.btxx.org

Then I will begin porting over my clubs/custom domain projects to my *other* Raspberry Pi 3B... (named Apollo, obviously 😛 )

i want to use 1x UK 240V 13A mains socket to power 3x Raspberry Pi 4B via USB-C. for... reasons, this seems to be a lot more difficult than you might expect.

has anyone done this, and if so, can you tell me about the solution you used that you know works well in practice?

This is neat: RISC OS Direct for Pi 5 — https://www.riscosdev.com/projects/risc-os-direct-for-pi-5/

It runs RISC OS directly on top of Raspberry Pi OS, without installing it as a new OS. It has a few problems: no sound, and I can't find the quit button, but it's way less hassle than dedicating a Raspberry Pi to this quaintly weird OS.

BTW, I've been using it as a streaming radio station player. The speakers are not great/not terrible but it gives a vintage radio quality to it which is charming.

I wrote my first Python program that uses curses to make a console driven radio player 😎

It lasted 7 hours 47 minutes on one charge (with the display on!) using 2 x 3000mAh 18650s.

Hi Raspberry Pi experts, I can't sort out this error: 'GPIO not allocated' for a HyperPixel 4.0 rectangular touchscreen connected to a pi 4B. Here is the full report I filed at the support forum:

https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/gpio-not-allocated-error-for-hyperpixel-4-0-on-a-raspberry-pi-4b/28950

What can cause this error if no other devices are using the pins? How to overcome it?

Thanks for the comments all! A couple of people mentioned it but yeah it does have strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes!

I haven't turned on this raspberry pi 4 8gb of ram in like 3 years. I've been feeling like resurrecting it and setting it up again.

What services should I install on it?
What casing or peripherals should I use?

An #introduction perhaps?

I’m this middle-aged dad from Germany. I have a wonderful partner, 4 kids and a cat.

I care about society and technology. A retired #FOSS activist, these days I work at a globocorp doing IT stuff for trains 🚄

My interests include baking #bread, #fermenting stuff, paddling a whitewater #kayak, n00bing around with #Python, #RaspberryPi and #arduino, and oh so many books.

There’s never enough time, and I haven’t been bored in more than a decade.

Been a while since I posted a blogpost so this is a quick one.

Raspberry Pi OS can cloud-init now for pre-boot config which is awesome.

But there's not many guides out there that cover the right syntax for static IPv6 networking with it, so I threw together my working config and notes in case it helps anyone.

#linux #raspberrypi #ipv6

@rickoooooo @benbrown

I'm extremely impressed by this, of course.

But I would be happy putting together little #RaspberryPi boxen that could do the same job almost effortlessly, and be hidden all over the place.

I feel like I've got a blog post a-brewin' about retiring my Nook Glowlight 2 for a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 2 with #KOReader.

It might end up being two posts, once I've worked out how to set up #Wallabag on a #RaspberryPi 3B+.

Not Psion, but definitely #permacomputing.

It's currently just a simplified version of my existing blog, but I'm hosting this website on my Raspberry Pi Zero for testing purposes:

https://fsck.lol

We will see how things go over time, then possible port over the "real" thing 😛

#raspberrypi #nginx #alpinelinux #selfHosting

My level crossing is finally fully automated! Not without a few hiccups along the way, but my existing #raspberrypi Pico now triggers the one for the servos, just in time to close the gates before the train comes, opening them again after it has completely passed.

Anyone got tips for getting a 6 year old up and running with a #RaspberryPi, maybe a good book? When I was his age I was just reading the Amiga manual and fiddling about with it, learning that way. That doesn’t seem to be a thing so much?

We were without power for ~18 hours yesterday, but I’m still determined to eventually switch hosting my personal blog over to my local Raspberry Pi Zero

70 days uptime on my #HP #parisc 715/100XC Webbserver running #NetBSD

Haha.. I think i will retire it from online duty
And let my #raspberrypi mini take over

Good experiment
Only thing i did was to tune nowait down from 600 to 100 in inted.conf on my httpd

Pining for a faster Raspberry Pi? You'll need a pinch of pi-tience (sorry/not sorry) as the next major revision won't be arriving soon.

Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.

What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!

This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!

Screenshot of LibreOffice Calc showing the release dates for the Raspberry Pi 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, and 5B I calculated both the average times between each release (September 2026 projection), but also, since the time between the Pi4 and Pi5 was an outlier, I set up a ninth row showing the date of release of the 5b PLUS the time between the 4b and 5b, which takes us into January 2028. Of course, these projections were done before the current "AI" fashbro RAM shortages.

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
